That said I am fully confident that Masai will offer DD a reasonable deal (that is, a deal competitive with what he is getting offered by other teams, but well short of the true max the Raptors can offer via Bird Rights) and that DD will stay on.

It would depend what Masai does with the cap space but losing an asset for nothing - not by choice - would suck.
On the other hand, it would be interesting see what his biggest fans who talked about loyalty, work ethic, love of Toronto for years had to say.

The thing that doesn't have me worried about the lakers is that lately they haven't even been talking basketball in their recruitment pitches. Dd doesn't strike me as a guy who cares about bright lights and being in talk shows. Seems like he's just a baller through and through.
I don't really see why dd would leave unless a legit title contender comes calling but idk anything can happen. Thank God the clippers don't have cap space that's all I'm going to say lol...

Thankfully the Lakers probably took themselves out of the running with their crazy signings last summer.

If he walked because we didn't offer him a full max and tried to dicker for a 4-year deal or a lower annual rate, I would completely understand if he felt slighted and walked. You don't nickel and dime one of your homegrown leaders.
If he walked after giving hints that he would stay, like Bosh did, I would be disappointed and would admit being wrong about him. If he wants to leave I would hope that he would at least tell Masai the way that Melo did, so that we could scrape together a few cents on the dollar in terms of assets. Again, I would admit being wrong about his character and his loyalty.
On the other hand, if we lock him in for 5 more years, it will be hilarious to see what his biggest detractors who criticize him for "hurting the team every night" have to say. That will potentially make 12 years of complaining--surely a franchise record.

I mean, how much is enough? All these NBA stars pay lip service to "winning is all I care about", but when money talks... you know the rest. I'd actually be very surprised if DD signs for the max. He's a fringe elite player who has a love-hate relationship with the fanbase. If he took the max, he'd be setting himself up to be the most criticized athlete in the city/country. My guess would be he signs for 80-90% of the max, or whatever the % of max JV and Lowry signed for.Last edited by golden; Sun Jan 3, 2016, 02:36 PM.
